San Clemente City Council members Tuesday will consider deciding where homeless shelters are suitable around town without need for a discretionary permit.

State law requires cities to identify sites but doesn’t require cities to fund or build shelters on those sites.

During the meeting at 5 p.m. at City Hall, 100 Avenida Presidio, the council will consider allowing organizations to establish overnight shelters on the following sites, without needing discretionary permits from the city until they reach a 70-bed limit:

 Properties zoned as public or civic center, minus school sites.

 City-owned parcels that are in nonresidential zones and at least 500 feet from the nearest homes.

 Churches, up to 10 beds each.

A report to the City Council identifies 46 parcels that are either public-zoned or city-owned in nonresidential zones at least 500 feet from homes. For any organization to establish a shelter on any of those sites would require consent of the landowner – in most of those cases, the city.
